If you have noticed that electricity is often hit when you catch the door handle or any other object, that's why this happens!

Winter seems to hit us almost every time we touch the door handle or any other object.


Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to reduce your electricity shocks to a minimum.

One of the main causes is static electricity, the Telegraph reports.

Well, what is static electricity?



Static electricity is about collecting electrical wraps on the surface of the object - indeed when electrons move from surface to tooth through contact.


If both surfaces are insulators, they will create electricity.

At home and at work there are many insulators such as our athlete's and shoe's shoe pads, carpets, woolen jumpsuits and cotton socks.

When we walk on the carpet, our body creates tension, which can not be released because we have shoes that are insulator on our feet.

Then, when I touch that metal handle - you know what's going on.

Gloomy air is also an insulator, so static electricity is more present during the winter months.
